191: Chapter 191 The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Diagram, Activated!

A single sword cry shattered the ages.

It was a streak of blood-colored light, ugly and ancient, yet carrying a supreme murderous intent that would make even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's heart and soul shatter in terror.

It joyfully "kissed" the extinction black line capable of corroding everything, like a picky gourmet finishing an uninteresting appetizer, casually erasing it from the level of existence.

Then, it stopped.

The lu xian sword, this ancient, supreme vicious weapon whose sole purpose since birth was the slaughter of immortals and gods, hung quietly beside Li Xuan.

The tip of the sword was locked firmly onto Carlos, who was in the distance, desperately tearing through the Void Realm in an attempt to escape back into the Boundary Sea Rift.

The blade hummed excitedly, trembling.

It was yearning.

Yearning to taste a true feast!

Yearning for that demonic soul, which belonged to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and had even touched the threshold of an Immortal King, to re-sharpen its blade that had been silent for countless eons!

It was urging its master.

"No... No! What is that sword... What on earth is that sword?!"

If Li Xuan's [Great Pudu Zen Light] had brought Carlos shock and fear of unknown power before...

Then this eerie ancient sword, which had autonomously protected its master, easily erased his ultimate trump card—for which he had gambled everything—and radiated an "unsatisfied" aura, brought him a kind of ultimate despair that stemmed from the deepest part of his life's Origin, completely impossible to resist or even understand!

This had already exceeded the categories of Divine Ability, Law, and Dao!

This was "Rule"!

This was "Concept"!

This was a materialized Heavenly Dao vicious weapon born specifically for the words "End" and "Slaughter"!

This man... Who exactly is he?!

Why can he master the supreme Divine Ability of Buddhism? Why can he command such a world-destroying vicious weapon?!

The secrets on him are more unfathomable than the entire Boundary Sea combined!

Run!

Must run!

Only this thought remained in Carlos's mind. He didn't even dare to have any further thoughts of resistance, burning the last trace of darkness origin within his body, draining his very last bit of strength, and diving headlong into the Void Realm rift he had already torn halfway open!

As long as he could return to the Boundary Sea, under the protection of the Dominator, he would have hope of survival!

However, just as Carlos had one foot inside the spatial rift, the slight ecstasy that had just arisen in his heart froze into an eternal ice sculpture in the very next instant.

Because he saw that the man holding the infant, whose expression was as cold as eternal divine ice, finally made a new move.

Li Xuan extended his right hand and gently grasped the happily humming lu xian sword.

That unruly, peerless vicious weapon that dared to slaughter even an Immortal King became as docile and obedient as a tame pet the moment it touched his palm.

Immediately after, Li Xuan's other hand gestured lightly toward the Void Realm.

"Clatter—"

An ancient scroll, radiating an aura of endless Chaos and desolation, slowly unfolded in his palm.

The scroll was tattered and broken, missing three of its four corners, with only one corner remaining relatively intact. On it, mysterious array patterns incomprehensible to ghosts and gods were drawn with the blood of an unknown beast. Just a single glance seemed to reveal the terrifying scene of the Universe being born and destroyed, and eons collapsing.

The entire Chaos Star Domain trembled and wailed violently the moment this zhu xian array map appeared, as if in fear, as if submitting!

This was the supreme killing treasure of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the supreme array known as "impenetrable without four Saints"—the [Zhu Xian Sword Array] map!

The moment he saw this array map, Carlos's intuition as a Dark Titan sent frantic warnings to him; every cell in his body was screaming, trembling!

He couldn't recognize what it was, but he could feel that when that sword and that map appeared together, a terrifying murderous intent capable of thoroughly cleansing the entire eastern Immortal Realm had locked onto him tightly!

Without the slightest hesitation, Carlos poured all his power into tearing through space, and half his body was forcibly squeezed into the chaotic spatial turbulence!

There was not a ripple on Li Xuan's face.

He looked at that back fleeing like a stray dog, just as if looking at a prisoner who had already been sentenced to death making one last ridiculous struggle before the execution.

He gently raised his hand and tossed the lu xian sword he held in his hand casually toward the empty Void Realm ahead.

The action didn't look like he was killing an enemy.

It looked more like... hanging a painting.

The lu xian sword turned into a streak of blood light, not shooting at Carlos, but precisely embedding itself into a strange node in the Void Realm.

The next instant, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation Map floating in Li Xuan's palm erupted with brilliant light!

It created an unprecedented, terrifying resonance with the lu xian sword that had been thrown into the Void Realm node!

"Boom—!!!"

With the location of the lu xian sword as the array eye, a gigantic, boundless shadow of an array covering a hundred thousand miles of the Chaos Void Realm suddenly took shape!

Although it was only a partial, single-cornered shadow of the killing array because the array map and the zhu xian sword were incomplete.

But this was enough!

"Hum—"

The world lost all sound at this moment.

Time, space, light, darkness, matter, energy... everything seemed to have been forcibly pressed with a pause button the moment this peerless killing array took shape.

A pure, ultimate "Slaughter" Law, transcending all Daos, descended!

Inside the array shadow, endless, chaotic gray killing Sword Qi emerged from thin air!

They were like the most violent particle storm in the Universe, crazily whistling, cutting, and raging within the array!

They were not energy, nor were they physical entities!

They were the manifestation of "Zhu Xian Sword Intent"! The embodiment of the concept of "End"!

The spatial rift that Carlos had just torn open could not even last for an instant under the aftermath of this infinite Sword Qi; like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, it, along with the spatial turbulence inside, was "wiped" clean!

Carlos's demonic body, which had just squeezed half of itself inside, was forcibly "squeezed" back out from the dimensional crack!

He stood blankly in the center of the killing array.

Before he could even understand what had happened, a negligible wisp of zhu xian sword Qi, which had merely leaked from the edge of the array, gently brushed across his body.

"Sizzle."

Carlos looked down.

He saw a tiny, gray scratch, like a strand of hair, appear on his invincible Dark Titan demonic body, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of Grand Unity Immortal weapons.

He couldn't even... feel the pain.

But this made him feel more terrified than any torture!

Because he could clearly perceive that his immortal demonic body, his Grand Unity Law, and his Divine Soul Origin were being thoroughly erased from the level of "existence" where that gray scratch touched!

That was an irreversible, unrepairable, and even incomprehensible, total "annihilation"!

"No... No... What... is this..."

Carlos's face finally revealed an expression ten thousand times more terrified than seeing the fall of the Darkness Dominator.

And at this moment.

Far away, billions of light-years away, in every corner of the Immortal Realm.

Inside an ancient sword Sect hidden deep within the endless Sword Tomb, that Immortal King-level ancient sword that suppressed the Sect's Luck suddenly let out a shrill, mournful cry, its brilliance lost, and it actually wanted to snap itself!

In the Northern Wasteland, a peerless Sword Immortal bitterly cultivating on an ice field saw his own natal Flying Sword, which was one with his heart and mind, drop to the ground with a "clatter"; like a mouse seeing a cat, it trembled crazily, wanting to burrow into the frozen earth!

In the Western Desert, in a certain Buddhist Holy Land, the Karma Dharma Sword used by high monks to slay demons and eliminate evil suddenly retracted all its Buddha light, its blade bent, and it actually assumed a posture of "submission" and "kneeling" toward a distant direction!

...

At this moment!

In the entire Immortal Realm, everything with the word "sword," whether it was a divine weapon, an immortal sword, a demonic blade, or even the most ordinary iron sword in a Mortal blacksmith shop, let out the most instinctive, mournful cry at the same time, originating from the core of their concepts!

They were trembling!

In fear!

Paying their most humble respects to that supreme King of Ten Thousand Swords, the Lord of Slaughter!

Inside the killing array, Li Xuan seemed to have finally lost his last shred of patience.

His hand holding the array map pinched the air toward Carlos in the center of the array.

"Extinguish."

A single word, and the Will Manifests as Law!

In an instant, the infinite zhu xian sword Qi covering the ten-thousand-mile radius, countless beyond measure, seemed to have received the highest order, turning into a gray chaotic tornado composed of pure "End," sweeping violently toward the tiny figure in the center!

"No—!!!"

Carlos only had time to let out a shrill roar mixed with infinite regret and fear.

The next instant.

His voice, his body, his Divine Soul, his Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, all traces of his existence in this world, all nodes on his Karma line...

Were all ruthlessly, inch by inch, ground away by that gray chaotic tornado!

That was not death, not destruction.

It was... erasure!

From the past, present, and future of the long river of time, the concept of "Carlos" was thoroughly, cleanly, and completely deleted from the root!

As if he had never existed!

After one breath, the chaotic tornado dissipated.

The gigantic, boundless killing array shadow also completed its mission and slowly faded away.

The lu xian sword suspended at the array eye gave a satisfied hum, turned into a streak of blood light, and flew happily back to Li Xuan's side, circling him twice like a pet asking for credit, before finally disappearing.

The entire battlefield returned to calm.

Only at the spot where Carlos had previously stood, a gigantic, slowly healing circular "void" area remained.

In that area, there was no Chaos, no Law, no matter of any kind.

There, it was a piece of pure "Nothingness."

It was a permanent scar left on this world by the Zhu Xian Sword Array.

At the bow of the zhou tian star boat, Li Changsheng stared fixedly at that void, the wooden sword in his hand trembling violently. It was not fear, but an instinctive excitement and thrill of a swordsman seeing the supreme Sword Dao! His sword heart seemed to have been opened to a door leading to a whole new world at this moment!

Beside him, Li Qingyue, on that eternally frozen, beautiful face, also showed an expression of unbelievable shock for the first time.

The entire Heavenly Court army was silent.

All the soldiers were as if petrified, staring blankly at that figure holding a child, who seemed to have just casually swatted a mosquito, their brains having completely lost the ability to think.

They had witnessed a miracle!

A true miracle belonging to their Heavenly Emperor!

Li Xuan withdrew the Zhu Xian Sword Formation Map and didn't even look at the erased void, as if he had done an insignificant trifle.

On his face, that killing intent that froze the galaxy slowly dissipated, and he returned to his calm and breezy appearance.

To him, if it weren't for Carlos foolishly touching his daughter, he wouldn't even have bothered to use this method to deal with him.

Just at this moment, a cold, mechanical prompt sounded abruptly in his Sea of Consciousness!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for using the "Zhu Xian Sword Array (Partial)" for the first time and successfully slaying a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!]

[Detected that the enemy "Carlos" slain by the host contained "Half-step Immortal King-level" heroic spirit remnants and the power of "Boundary Sea Origin"!]

[The System has successfully absorbed this portion of dissipated energy! The energy level exceeds the System's current limit!]

[Ding! The System has begun its ultimate upgrade! Estimated upgrade time: three days! After this upgrade, the final core function will be unlocked, so stay tuned!]
